I thought I should show you guys the bag I use(d) for school from Zara, unfortunately the shoulder strap broke and as my folders get bigger and I accumulate more art books it turns out its not as practical as it seemed *sigh*. However, it is a gorgeous bag that really reminded me of the shape and style of the Prada Saffiano Lux tote, a bag I can only ever lust for with its minimalistic appearance making it a great investment for anyone (my Zara one even has the double zip feature and at £49.99 it was basically a steal!) Out of all high street stores Zara has to be one of my favourites for bags! Check some of my fav picks here, here, here, hereandhereWhich is your favourite?

Taylor was wearing a gorgeous sparkly skirt that she said she got from a market, so jealous! Check out her blog here

For those of you who follow me on twitter, you will know I attended the Company Fashion Forum event on Wednesday night hosted by Company Magazine. It was a great evening that gave you the chance to mingle with the lovely Editor of Company, Victoria White, and many other of the really cool (and obviously stylish) Company magazine crew. The majority of the night consisted of a panel of important women in the fashion industry doing a Q&A led by Victoria about such topics as how did they get in to fashion, what is it like, how much experience is needed etc. For more tips and quotes from the event go to my twitter page, @rheadillon, where I noted many of these during the evening. There was the Visual Merchandise Manager from Miss Selfridge, a Buyer from Oasis, a Freelance stylist @aradiacrockett, Jamaique Campbell the Account Manager from IPR London (PR company) @IPRfashion and , last but not least, the blogger @fredbutlerstyle. Hopefully I have got all their names and titles right! Everyone received a complimentary glass of bubbly, although if you were underage like moi a fruit juice, which was really nice might I add, was the alternative. I felt after the forum ended it was the best opportunity to talk to all the experts in the business and I got to snap one of my favourite stylists from the magazine, Laura Martin, who you may recognise from the 'High Street Edit' section. She was really lovely to talk to as was the account manager, Jamaique, from IPR London.

Overall I'd like to say a big thank you to Company Magazine and if they decide to do another forum (this being their first) I would encourage anyone interested in Fashion or just how the industry is run to attend. Plus have you seen the goody bag?! ;) Not sure I'll be needing the self tan products though!

P.S. hopefully I will add a photo of what I wore to the event ASAP and sorry about this really long post :L

So I got a lovely email from Motel Rocks that featured this really cool quiz where you answer a few questions and at the end they decide whether you are all about the Sequin Splendour, Vintage Bloom, or Gothic Romance trend (what I got!) The best part about it is you get a special discount at the end so check out the link here! There are so many things I've been lusting over in Motel and was thrilled as at the end of the quiz you get directed to the collection of your trend and my favourite dress was in it! Coincidence? I think not! Just thought I'd give you guys a quick look at my favourite four from the Gothic Romance Trend for further inspiration:
